Midleton Very Rare Whiskey – 1988. UPDATE: THIS WAS UNSOLD
This bottle of 1988 Midleton Very Rare Whiskey will lead the James Adam timed online sale of wines and spirits on September 25. The estimate is €10,000-€20,000. This is the most elusive release of the series with only 16 bottles known at auction since 2009. At Sotheby’s in New York last week a bottle of Knappogue Castle whiskey distilled in 1951 and bottled in 1987 made a hammer price of $1,500 (€1,353) over a top estimate of $900 (€811).
Only two Master Distillers have had the privilege of preserving the legacy of the world’s most sought-after Irish Whiskey – Barry Crockett and Brian Nation. Created in 1984 by Master Distiller Emeritus Barry Crockett, Midleton Very Rare is the ultimate expression of his art and expertise. Once a year, Master Distiller Brian Nation honours Barry’s vision by handpicking only the finest and rarest whiskeys from the Midleton Distillery warehouses and carefully blends them to create each annual vintage of Midleton Very Rare. Each bottle is individually numbered and signed by the Master Distiller, the mark of a true whiskey masterpiece. Midleton Very Rare is consistently awarded the highest honours at the world’s most respected whisky awards. The individual nature of the selection process means that each year’s vintage provides its own unique character. Viewing for this sale gets underway today.
Irish art and rare Irish whiskeys, wine, antiques furniture and collectibles will come under the hammer at Dolan’s timed online sale which runs until the evening of October 9. The collection of Midleton’s shown here is estimated at €8,000-€10,000. Dolans has found strong demand for such lots from around the world. The catalogue for the sale is online.
